The Food is Good<\/strong>
Why do we bother to grow up at all
Take all these pains to become so tall
Bigger and fatter, stuffed and obese
What is the trap here, tell me please
Why do we sweat to earn more and more
Become corrupted to the core
It\u2019s because money is mute
And the food is good<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It\u2019s so hard to decide what\u2019s enough
So we gather more and more of the stuff
And we\u2019re running faster faster each day
\u2018Cause we need to increase our pay
It\u2019s all because are addicted to fame
The need to spend and have more of the same
It\u2019s our addiction to thrill
And weakness of will<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll be happier by wanting less
\u2018Cause less is more and diminishes stress
And slowing down the pace of life
Will leave behind a lot of struggle and strife
But it\u2019s unlikely that we\u2019ll change our ways
So I am fearful that the problem remains
\u2018Cause money is mute
And the food is good
Money is power
And fame a hot shower (4x)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sleepy Song<\/strong>
Lie down lie down
Tired little child
It\u2019s been a fine day
That ends with a smile<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Close your eyes now
I\u2019ll sing you to sleep
It\u2019s but a small song
Nothing too deep<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Silent now silent now
Safe in your bed
Night is arriving
In your little head<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Quiet now quiet now
Don\u2019t sing along
\u2018Cause words do not matter
In this sleepy little song<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Good night good night
Sleep little child
Tomorrow is waiting
Begins with a smile
Sleepy now sleepy now
Don\u2019t sing along
\u2018Cause words do not matter
In this sleepy little song<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Crosspath<\/strong>
Coming across my footsteps
In a journey to the past
Wondering who I was
When I was passing through here last
Wondering who I will be
When I will pass through here again
What were my ambitions when
I was a younger man<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Did I live in this city
did I have this home
Had I already found your love
Or was I still alone?
Couldn\u2019t see what was coming
What was in store for me
Nobody knows on the crosspath
Where his footsteps will lead<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Walking the crosspath
Where my former footsteps lie
What was I feeling
At the time I was passing by
Who will I be when
I will be passing through this place once again<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Meeting myself on the crosspath
where different times overlay
I am reliving the moment
When I travelled in the other way
Back to the future
I don\u2019t know when
But I will be back on the crosspath
To meet myself once again
Walking the crosspath\u2026<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sitting on a Seesaw<\/strong>
I\u2019m sitting on a seesaw
On the way down
On a seesaw ooh
Close to the ground<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Far beyond the tipping point
Where things are getting out of joint
You are high up in the air
So you will get the better share
While I\u2019m on the rebound
Close to a breakdown
Staring me into the face<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sitting on a seesaw
You keep me down
On a seesaw ooh
Hitting the ground<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I don\u2019t want to take all the blame
You surely need to lower your claim
But I don\u2019t want to bring you down
And seesaw to another round
Leaving my seat now
Would mean that you drop down
And fall with your face in the dirt<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sitting on a seesaw
On the way down
On a seesaw ooh
Hitting the ground<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If I go up, you must come down
And the other way around (4x)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If You Go<\/strong>
If you go before I go
There is something I want you to know
All your stuff will make a dead weight
But I can\u2019t bring myself to throw it away
Where to begin, I don\u2019t have a clue
\u2018cause every little thing will remind me of you<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Your favourite chair, your side of the bed
The baseball cap that never leaves your head
That little car that we no longer drive
Family pictures that make me cry
I cannot live among souvenirs
So live a little longer if you please<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But if I am the first to go
There is something I want you to know
You must keep in the second degree
Every little thing that reminds you of me
Don\u2019t throw away the things I hold dear
\u2018cause you need to love me for many more years<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A Girl Called Europe<\/strong>
We are all waiting in single file
To catch a glimpse of her
But she refuses to show her face
Acting like some mystery flirt<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We are all hoping for something nice
Some little favour from her
Blink of an eye or wave of a hand
But she seems little concerned<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We are all courting a girl called Europe
But she doesn\u2019t want to love us back
Under the spell of a seducer called Europe
But there is nothing we can expect<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Better watch out for a girl called Europe
She doesn\u2019t favour you
Not a kind word let alone a small kiss
She\u2018ll never be true to you<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We are all courting a girl called Europe
But she doesn\u2019t want to love us back
Under the spell of a seducer called Europe
But there is nothing we can expect<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Love is Work<\/strong>
You think that love is something that comes free
That it will cost you little energy
But it will not just happen to you
A lot depends on the work that you do
Love is work (2x)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It may have fallen like a star from the sky
But you must nurture it or else it will die
Don\u2019t just sit there and play with my heart
Careful now, you\u2019ll tear it apart<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So baby baby let\u2019s do some work
Our love must be shaken and stirred
Don\u2019t tell me you don\u2019t have a clue
It all depends on the work that you do<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So let us do the labour of love
Of that work there is never enough
Don\u2019t you think it simply happens to you
A lot depends on the work that you do
Love is work (3x)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Silent Over You<\/strong>
Silent over you
I cannot find the words so I will be
Silent over you
Love can go without them so I will be
Silent over you (2x)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On a single string
I am playing a silent song
You can\u2019t hear me sing
But you can deeply feel my love
Silent over you (2x)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Look into my eyes and you will see
That I am true to you
Catch me in my flight and hold me down
So I\u2019ll be close to you
Dududududu<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Look into my eyes and you will see
That I am true to you
Catch me in my flight and hold me down
So I\u2019ll be close to you<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Silent over you
I cannot find the words so I will be
Silent over you
Love can go without them so I will be
Silent over you (2x)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Iron Lady<\/strong>
I\u2018ve been living on an ancient boat
It\u2019s a miracle that she\u2019s still afloat
I\u2019ve loved and hated her both passionately
So much for my romantic fantasy
She\u2019s stolen my money, she\u2019s eaten my time
I worked my ass off far beyond my prime
The lady gets younger while the captain grows old
But now she\u2019s ready to rock \u2019n roll<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I\u2019ve often wondered how it could be
The iron lady hit on me and I fell for her
Though I didn\u2019t want to see the truth
She and I have travelled through the years
She has carried me through the seas to my destiny
Wherever that might be
Pompadada Pompadada dom etc.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I\u2019ve often wondered how it could be
The iron lady hit on me and I fell for her
Though I didn\u2019t want to know the truth
She and I have travelled through the years
She has carried me through the seas to my destiny
Wherever that might be<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I have been married to an ancient ship
A long time since it left the building slip
We\u2019ve virtually grown into each other by now
So part of me is iron and wood somehow
She\u2019s spent all my money, she\u2019s wasted my time
I\u2019ve tried to please her far beyond my prime
The lady gets younger while the captain grows old
But now we\u2019re ready to rock \u2019n roll (3x)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

No More<\/strong>
You can go on shouting but I\u2019m not gonna listen no more
Seems like it\u2019s forever since we started on our little civil war
I have had enough, please go away and shut the door
Can\u2019t you see it\u2019s over
Don\u2019t want to forgive you no more<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You can cry your eyes out but I cannot stand the sight no more
Cannot turn the clock back and continue like we did before
I\u2019m not the fighting kind, but you are always out to settle some score
Can\u2019t you see it\u2019s over
Don\u2019t want to fight you no more<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You blackmail me to take you back
Put my soul on an emotional rack
It\u2019s clear as ice that you are seeking revenge
You say you love me but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s true
Instead you plan another turn of the screw
But at least I know I don\u2019t love you back<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You act in desperation but I do not sympathize no more
Cannot turn the clock back and continue like we did before
I\u2019m not the fighting kind, but you are always out to settle some score
Can\u2019t you see it\u2019s over
Don\u2019t want to fight you no more (3x)<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
